    Watching gatti vs ward I deff made me fall in love with boxing.

    After watching that fight I became obsessed with boxing.

    I eventually was trained by someone semi-noteworthy, My wife found the gym where Joey Gamache Sr. still trains fighters in lewiston Maine, and I trained there for awhile.

    Awesome story man. That was a great fight between two extraordinarily motivated action fighters who clearly had something to prove.:bbb

    Ali vs Frazier #1. I was about 7 years old and got caught up in the hype. This fight was huge for it's day

    A lot of fans from back then remember where they were when they heard Clay (at the time) won just like they remember the Kennedy assasination. :rasta

    As a kid Chavez/Tyson lured me in to watching the sport of boxing, but the Barrera-Morales trilogies sealed the deal...ever since then I haven't stopped watching boxing.

    gatti v ward



    it was like watching two kids playing knockout kings. what they used to call fight night.
    since then i have learned to appreciate the art and science of being a brilliant boxer and not just a fighter.

    Roy Jones Jr, when he took on Tony Thornton. That barrage of 60+ punches that ended the fight made me a fan not only of RJJ, but also of the sport of boxing.

    Nice one, RJJ was a gifted athlete in his prime.

    Lewis vs Tyson, the fight broke my heart but I´ve never stopped watching boxing since then, I was about 12 years old at that time.

    HUGE EVENT that turned many a casual fan into a boxing enthusiast. Good choice.
